A note of THANKS and appreciation for the awesome, outstanding and magnificent job you and your Team did on Fri., 11/03/2017 for my Wedding and Reception. Due to my budget, I initially hesitated on engaging the servicesof a Wedding Coordinator; however, please know that employing your services was THE best investment! Originally, I thought (along with my “mothers” and sister), the job could bedone…easily. How wrong that thought was Who would’ve imagined there was SO much involved in the planning, preparation and execution of a Wedding and Reception. I never envisioned there was so much to consider, from reviewing contracts, communication with vendors to timing of the actual wedding day. I speak for my “mothers,” sister and myself as I acknowledge your professionalism, knowledge, expertise, compassion, time management and sense of humor. The Florist you recommended was amazing! She was able to capture my vision and when I walked in…the room was breath taking!! I highly recommend the DJ and Photographer I selected. They too did a marvelous job. THANK YOU SO MUCH Shalyce for the remarkable and exceptional job you and your Team did on MY special day…my Wedding! You made an event of a lifetime, a dream come true…to perfection!! It is with greatest pleasure I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking an outstanding, excellent, professional and fabulous Event Planner for their special occasion.

Shalyce, owner of Sensational Soirees was exceptional. When my now husband and I began planning, he did not understand why we needed a wedding planner. However, I insisted. Once we got to wedding weekend, he was like...."WOW, this is a lot," and hasn't stopped singing Shalyce's praises. Her and her staff are extremely professional and they offer top-notch services. It was a pleasure working with them.

My now husband and I were thoroughly satisfied with the services rendered by Sensational Soirees! We selected full-service wedding planning and Shalyce was there every step of the way from our initial consultation through after we walked down the aisle. Shalyce is very organized, sharp, and thorough. This is definitely her calling. She makes her experiences with couples very personal and unique, which we greatly appreciated. She has a style sense, flair, and energy that is unmatched. I would also say that her prices are very reasonable, especially for everything she did and assisted with. We leaned on her heavily! In summary, I would highly recommend Shalyce of Sensational Soirees for your event planning needs. Trust me, you would be so happy you did! Your wedding or event will be beyond "Sensational"!

From the moment me and my mother met Shalyce we knew she was the best fit to be the coordinator. Shalyce is so warm welcoming and you absolutely need her in your corner on your big day. Shaylce is their when you need an open ear and very understanding of the pressure planning a wedding can cause. All of our guest commented on how nice and polite Shalyce and the Sensational Soirees team was. Shalyce you are the best thank you for helping us make our dream wedding come true!

Shalyce and the Sensational Soirees team did a great job of making my dream wedding a reality! She provided and contacted numerous vendors so I did not have to spend much time researching. She also provided a clear timeline of things that needed to be completed to help keep us on track. Her day of services were exceptional as well and the evening went off without a hitch. I would definitely recommend Sensational Soirees for all your wedding planning needs, you will not be disappointed!

Sensational Soirees was AMAZING! My husband and I were married last year on July 18, 2015. Shalyce and her staff gave quality service from beginning to end. I mean from the first presentation of their service and what they would offer to after the honeymoon making sure our transition into married life was smooth. Sensational Soirees helped my husband and I have the dream wedding experience and were a delight to work with. Shalyce and her team gave this excited and sometimes overly anxious Bride to Be the calm reassurance that everything would be okay - - and then worked to make sure that in fact things turned out beautifully. The service was 5.0 score on all points. I would highly recommend Sensational Soirees LLC to any Bride To Be and couple planning a wedding.

Sensationally yours!!
